25 Days of Christmas Tags '13 - Day 18 and a Treat

Today I have a treat for you not one but two guests. Christina Maclaren of SeaGlass Papercraft and Jeanne Jachna of A Kept Life. Both of these talented ladies have blogs just full of inspiration.

Christina was actually my first papercrafting crush! Her designs are always clean and beautifully executed. Christina and I are both on The 12 Kits of Occasions and the Curtain Call Inspiration Challenge together. She is such a sweetheart too. Visit her blog and leave her some love for this fabulous tag and if you haven't been there before have a look around too.

Jeanne Jachna is amazingly talented. She always has the most beautiful bows on her cards and lots of fabulous die cut layers. Now I don't think there is a die cut out there that Jeanne doesn't have. She is another sweetie, I got to know Jeanne when we were both on the The 12 Kits of Occasions together and now we just chat for fun. Here is her gorgeous tag for today and when you visit her site to leave her some love have a good look around.

Now these are two tough acts to follow. Today's tag uses the 'new to me' Lawn Fawn Winter Owl stamp set. I am pretty sure that I may be the last one to get this set, but once the matching die came out I had to have them.

Tip: when creating a tag with patterned paper I always die cut a back out of cardstock. It gives the tag more strength.

Remember to enter the giveaway for the Tag kit you can enter each day following the same guidelines...become a follower and leave a comment, if you are already one of my followers let me know and if you want another chance to win follow my tag Pinterest Boards and leave another comment. On December 12 I will draw one random name from all the comments.

Now this is a great trio of tags!! Love Christina's little girl decorating the tree and Jeanne's sheer pearl adorned bow is swoon worthy!! And holy smokes is your little owl ever cute with his snuggly warm scarf!!

Okay, now I'm the only person who doesn't have Winter Owl! LOL! He is so adorable, and I especially love how you pieced his scarf and stamped the sentiment directly on patterned paper. I am loving all of the tag inspiration you're sharing this month. Thanks so much for inviting me to play along today!

OMG Tracey!! That owl is the cutest thing ever. I love the sentiment and the pieced scarf! ADORABLE!!! Wow! Still so floored to have my project on the same page as yours... and on top of that Christina too?? I think you are both AMAZING!!

Your tag inspiration today is once again an absolute delight. Your guests' creations are fabulous, and yours are wonderful, plus! My LF list is becoming quite lengthy...perhaps time to move from wish list to shopping order! Thank you again for sharing your creativity!c

My goodness, do you have some talented friends. Stunning creations from Christina and Jeanne today. And, your tag for today is just darling. You know that owl is one of my favorites, and I'm so glad you have one living at your house too, now.

Welcome to my blog.

I have been married to my high school sweetheart for 27 years. I am a mom to two incredible young adults that make me so proud every day. Paper crafting has always been a part of my life. I blog because I love to share and I hope you find a bit of inspiration while you stop by to visit!
